[SunHELP] Network Interface card

[sunhelp at sunhelp.org]

In addition, I have found that Cisco line cards that support only ISL seem
to not autonegotiate well with Sun gear.  Cards that support 802.1q
(either alone or in addition to ISL) seem to be a lot nicer.  Yes, I know
ISL and 802.1q have nothing to do with autonegotiating, etc.  But that has
been the observed datapoints among our 5000's and 4006's/4003's.  

Go figger...
